Globaltechexport Ltd. plans to complete the commissioning of the gas distribution and duplex filter units at Yakutsk GRES-2 in August 2016. The scope of Globaltechexport includes loaded equipment starts, and testing of control, protection, and alarm circuits of the gas distribution unit and filter units.
Globaltechexport Ltd. has already fulfilled its gas distribution unit and gas conditioning equipment design, manufacture, and supply obligations. Duplex filter units, a gas distribution unit (including gas cleaning and heating, gas metering, and gas pressure reduction units), a pumping group, instrument air and nitrogen unit have been delivered to the site. The equipment was assembled under the supervision of our engineering supervisors; connections to the power facility utilities and electrical equipment tests with voltage supply to individual consumers were performed. The assembled equipment is ready for system start-ups.
Yakutsk GRES-2 JSC started individual tests of diesel fuel facility equipment in mid-July. The assembly of the main equipment of the power plant (waste-heat boilers) is at the final stage in the main power plant building. In addition, gas pipelines installation is coming to an end, and trial runs of the main GRES equipment (waste-heat boilers, peak-load boilers, gas turbine units) will soon be possible and, accordingly, testing and setup of the gas distribution unit in all modes will be performed.
Specialists of Globaltechexport Ltd. will perform loaded equipment starts and test the control, protection, and alarm circuits of the gas distribution unit and filter units. Upon completion of 72-hour acceptance tests under load, our engineers will provide a briefing to the facility's personnel.
Yakutsk GRES-2 is one of the four projects under the investment program of RusHydro for the construction of new power facilities in the Far East. The electric capacity of Phase One will be 193 MW, and the thermal capacity will be 469 Gcal/h. The new plant will replace the retired capacities of the existing Yakutsk GRES, create reserve capacity and improve the security of energy supply to consumers.
